Thank you! Oh, thank you so much for the detailed description! Now I definitely have a better idea of what both cities are like! As to Durham, it is said that we'll be able to apply to the college in mid-April, and I am looking forward to applying to St. Chad or Cuthbert. I am a little bit worried about the social scene at Durham though, because I'm Asian and I've heard my fellow Asian students complaining about several incidents of discrimination at Durham. And some of the other white people at Durham just go like "no I have not experienced any discrimination my whole time here, you must be too sensitive" when they hear these complaints, which just adds to my worrying. However, I am not certain if Glasgow would be better in this aspect. As to Glasgow, thank you for the warning about the weather! I myself do care for the weather very much lol I would really hate it if it's cloudy & rainy for weeks straight! Thanks again! It's very helpful!

I hold both offers. I am an international student whose BA is NOT in literature. Their course content both seems good.I hear that Durham is slightly more prestigious in this area but as my BA is not in English or Literature(I have taken some online courses but still) I fear that the modules at Durham might be too difficult for me. Also, if I wanted to continue my study as an MPhil/Ph.D. in English Literature after completing this MA, which uni would be better?(I have been working for a few years now so I don't care for the job prospects that much. I just want some better student experience)
